Trial design: how must we move ahead?

How Often Must We Apply Syndrome Measurements?

Quantum error correction requires encoding quantum information into a quantum error correction code and measuring error syndromes to detect and identify possible errors. Quantum fault tolerance typically assumes that syndrome measurements are applied after every logical gate at great expense both in time and number of qubits. Here we demonstrate that not only is this not necessary, but that we ...

Antibiotic stewardship: Why we must, how we can.

Improving our antibiotic use is critical to the safety of our patients and the future of medicine. This can improve patient outcomes, save money, reduce resistance, and help prevent negative consequences such as Clostridium difficile infection. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is undertaking a nationwide effort to appropriately improve antibiotic use in inpatient and outp...

Mobile Objects "Must" Move Safely

Øjeblik is a lexically-scoped, object-based calculus that represents a distribution-free subset of the LAN-based programming language Obliq. The surrogate operation on Øjeblik-objects, which is the abstraction of migration on Obliqobjects, is a combined operation derived from the more primitive operations cloning and aliasing. In short, surrogation on an object turns the object into an alias fo...

Working together to move ahead.

Vision affects how fast we hear sounds move.

There is a growing body of knowledge about the behavioral and neural correlates of cross-modal interactions in the perception of motion direction, as well as about the computations that underlie unimodal visual speed processing. Yet, the multisensory contributions to the perception of motion speed remain largely uncharted. Here we show that visual motion information exerts a profound influence ...
